Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets drew a line under the quarterback search with Manning: B.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for Noah Thomas, 68 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B.

So much rides on Arch Manning that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In the 4th overall pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
A straight-up fair deal on Nyck Harbor at No. 36, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Fair-plus on Darrell Jackson Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at the 104th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick 139 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Trey Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Moore well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick197 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at Round 6, Pick 21 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Noah Thomas. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jehiem Oatis
Jehiem Oatis in the 251st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
A quiet steal in pick No. 253: Gentry Williams for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
